Saw Rumble Fish for the first time since my teenage years - pretentious, arty, borderline ludicrous in its relentless symbolism, but what the hell i still love it. All those deep focus shots look great on blu ray by the way - transfer grumblings on the internet a load of crap - much of the film was obviously meant to be soft focus but the close ups look crystal clear. The fact that the director of The Conversation, 2 Godfathers and Apocalypse Now then made this movie is beyond odd - it's more like the experimental debut of a director just out of art school.
